Key points Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 28 (CCL28) is a novel growth factor for human hematopoietic stem- and progenitor cells.CCL28 supports the in vitro and in vivo functional integrity of cultured primitive hematopoietic cells.

Background:There is a lack of data about the information preferences of patients and their partners after a myocardial infarction. Aim:This paper explores anxiety, depression, coping and the desire to be actively involved in care in relation to age, gender and education level in myocardial infarction patients and partners. Methods:One hundred and twenty-eight patients and their partners answered t

Total hip arthroplasty for intracapsular femoral neck fractures (FNF) is associated with a greater risk of dislocation. Dual articulation systems in this group of patients may provide better implant stability and a reduced dislocation rate. The aim of our study was to investigate FNF patients treated with dual articulation cups (DAC) and conventional THA and compare their clinical results at four

From 1990 to 1997, 113 eligible patients with classical osteosarcoma received neo-adjuvant chemotherapy consisting of high-dose methotrexate, cisplatin and doxorubicin. Good histological responders continued to receive the same therapy postoperatively, while poor responders received salvage therapy with an etoposide/ifosfamide combination. With a median follow-up of 83 months, the projected metast

Background: Monoclonal antibodies (mAb) are important tools in the management of tumor disease, and the discovery of antibodies with both specific cancer cell targeting and capacity to enter the cells by internalization are critical to improve the therapeutic efficacy. Method: Antibody cancer cell targeting and internalization properties of fluoroscein-conjugated mAb made against Lewis Y (BR96) we

Conventional Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) dating using the equivalent dose distributions of 8 mm aliquots have been extended to key stratigraphical sites in southernmost Sweden and the island of Bornholm. The objective has been to bridge the lack of an independent chronology, which might catalyze a new understanding of the ice flow patterns related to the initiation of the Last Glacial

Levels of messenger RNAs for brain-derived neurotrophic factor, nerve growth factor and neurotrophin-3, and their high-affinity receptors, TrkB and TrkC, were analysed in the brains of genetically fast and slow kindling rats using in situ hybridization. Basal expression of neurotrophins and Trk messenger RNAs in the hippocampal formation, amygdala, frontoparietal and piriform cortices did not diff

Prognostic factors for complete tumour response and acute skin damage to combined hyperthermia and radiotherapy were analysed in material of patients with breast cancer, recurrent in previously irradiated areas. Radiotherapy was given daily to a total absorbed dose of 30.0 Gy in 2 weeks or 34.5 Gy in 3 weeks. The first radiotherapy schedule was combined with heat twice weekly, a total of four heat

New basis sets of the atomic natural orbital (ANO) type have been developed for the atoms Li-Fr and Be-Ra. The ANOs have been obtained from the average density matrix of the ground states and the lowest excited states of the atom, the positive ion, and the dimer at its equilibirium geometry. Scalar realtivisitc effects are included through the use of a Douglas-Kroll Hamiltonian. Multiconfiguration

Popular Abstract in Swedish En omorganisation av det svenska Vägverket har medfört ett behov för dem att fungera som en professionell beställare enbart, utan utförande i egen regi. Det har naturligtvis också medfört en förändring i hur man hanterar upphandlingen av vägunderhåll. En väghållares främsta uppgift är att underhålla befintliga anläggningar och se till at de fungerar som avsett. Den näsA reorganization of the Swedish National Road Administration (SNRA) has urged a demand to work as a professional agency only, without any work by direct labor. This structure has enforced a change in how to handle the pavement maintenance and performance contracts are being promoted since they encourage product development and sustainability. Furthermore, SNRA desires to use the road network as a

Abstract in Uncoded languages Namen prispevka:Namen prispevka je analizirati ponovno podane izkušnje 27-ih preživelih vojne v Bosni in Hercegovini v 90-ih letih prejšnjega stoletja. V pripovedih smo pregledali verbalne znake sprave in pomiritve ter analizirali opisane izraze za spravo. Metode: Gradivo za raziskavo je bilo zbrano s kvalitativnimi intervjuji 27-ih posameznikov, ki so preživeli vojnoPurpose: The aim of this article was to analyze the retold experiences of 27 survivors from the 1990s war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. I have examined verbal markers of reconciliation and implacability and analyzed the described terms for reconciliation that are being actualized in the narratives. Design: The material for the study was gathered through qualitative interviews with 27 individuals who

Utmaningar kring samarbete och effektivt utnyttjande av den tvärprofessionella kompetensen har observerats i svenska elevhälsoteam. En kommun har adresserat dessa svårigheter genom att implementera ett gemensamt ramverk, Systematiskt Tillsammans för Lärande (STfL). Syftet med föreliggande studie var att utforska hur ett sådant gemensamt ramverk upplevs av elevhälsoteamens olika professioner vad gäCollaboration and efficient use of multidisciplinary competence has been observed to be difficult in student health teams (SHT) in Sweden. One municipality has addressed these issues by implementing a common framework, Systematically Together for Learning (STfL). The aim of this study was to explore how this framework was experienced by the student health service professionals in relation to imple

Practitioners primarily utilise nonparametric methods when estimating Value-at- Risk (VaR) and Expected Shortfall (ES) for computing capital requirements. However, various researchers assert that there are issues with those estimates, particularly amidst periods of market turmoil. Academia produces novel parametric methods to estimate extreme risk measures to address these deficiencies. Neverthele

The mycelium enables a fungus to explore and interact with spatially and temporally heterogenous environments. It operates at a range of scales, with hyphal traits and cellular events affecting network and colony behavior. Recently, the fungal mycelium has also been used to produce new, sustainable biomaterials which can serve as alternatives to numerous non-renewable or polluting materials and pr
